johnson & Perry tell ms that they
bought 40 tons of broom corn this week
from Brown l. Co. Of Humboldt.
What better prof can be offered that
lola is the best broom cosn market in
the county than this simple fact? The
Humboldt dealers bought their broom
corn of the farmers and sold IL 10 John
son Il Perry ut . profit. But johnson
s Perry paid them no more than they
were willing to pay the farmers them
selves for the same gradA % those who
sold their corn to Humboldt dealers
simply gave them the profit they
might have had themselves by bring
ing their corn to lola.
The Democrat is still in agony be-
cause the republicans are "trying to
steal an Office" As Contest Board
of whom a majority are republicans
have awarded the Office alluded to to
Mr.. Benton, as the county clerk, who
is a republican, has accepted Mr.. BEN
toms bond aud administered to him
the oath of Office, and as the Judge Of
the District Court, who il a republican,
has recognized him ~ county attorney
we don't know why the Democrat
should still have such an ache in the
region beneath the diaphragm. Some
body had better give the poor thing .
dose of soothing syrup.
Mr.. s. A. Barnes, Superintendent Of
the 8. X. r. R., was in town last week
and informed Agent Turner that as
soon as spring opened it was the inten-
ton of the company to begin work on
q new passenger depot at this place.
The old depot will be left where 1t is
and used for freight, while the new one
will be built on this side of the main
line, facing west and will be used ex-
clusively as passenger depot. 1t is
probable that another switch, running
east of the Elevator will also be put in.
We make this announcement with
great pleasure and assure Mr.. Barnes
that the enterprise of his road is fully
appreciated.
The question az to who is to be un-
der-sheriH, which has been quite &C.
lively canvassed during the past two
weeks, has been settled by the appoint
ment of J. C. Woodin. The appoint.
ment is one which, we believe. will
meet with universal approval. Mr..
Woodin is thoroughly familiar with
the duties of the office, having served
for some time in the same position un-
der his brother, Mr.. J. L. Woodin, he
is an exceptionally pleasant and cour-
teous gentleman, is well liked by
everybody and will no doubt perform
his duties in an entirely satisfactory
manner. Mr.. Britton il to be congrat-
ulated on securing his services.
To relieve the county clerk Of much
burdensome correspondence, the ma
ture and extent of which may be in
ferred from the letter published in an
other place, and for the benefit and in
formation of citizens of other States to
whom the REGISTER may find its
way, we are preparing and will pub
lish next week, an article Of some
length descriptive of our town and
county and containing such general
information as would be useful to one
expecting to seek location here. The
article will remain standing for sever
al weeks and we hope q great many of
our citizens will find it worth while to
send copies of the paper to their friends
in the east.
Mr.. I. Port hands US a copy Of the
jefferson (Ohio) Gazette containing a
letter from Henry Talcott, the Assis-
tant Dairy Commissioner Of the State
which gives the result of Investigations
into the composition Of oleomargarine.
The letter is over a column in length
and we are unable to publish it entire,
but the following sentences will be
sufficient to show the writers opinion
